The princ.i.p.al agreed. “Claire, if we don’t want us to doubt you, you’ll have to prove that you didn’t get the full score by cheating!”
Prove?
Why did she have to prove it?
That was ridiculous.
Seeing Claire silent, Zhu Lan smiled triumphantly.
She finally had no way to quibble now!
The princ.i.p.al frowned. “Claire, cheating is not a trivial matter, and your suspicious relations.h.i.+p with Professor Cooper has seriously harmed the reputation of our school. We can only expel you!”
Zhu Lan echoed. “Did you hear it? Now get out of our school!”
Get out of the school?
Claire’s eyes narrowed slightly, exuding a scary cold gleam.
Suddenly, the door of the princ.i.p.al’s office was pushed open, and Adam Cooper walked in.
The princ.i.p.al and Zhu Lan were a little fl.u.s.tered when they saw him.
Adam walked straight to the princ.i.p.al, his old face cold and majestic. “I heard that your school suspects that Claire is cheating and you plan on expelling her?”
The princ.i.p.al quickly got up and said respectfully, “Professor Cooper, please sit down.”
Adam snorted coldly. “I don’t need to sit down. Just answer me!”
The princ.i.p.al was about to speak when Zhu Lan hastened to say. “Professor Cooper, Claire cheated in the exam, which can not be tolerated in our school. She must be expelled!”
The princ.i.p.al hurriedly stopped her. “Ms. Zhu, we haven’t made a decision yet!”
After all, as a famous expert on mathematics, Adam Cooper was highly respected.
He dare not offend him easily.
Adam glared at Zhu Lan sharply and snapped. “Bulls.h.i.+t! Do you know what her ident.i.ty is? You’re talking sheer nonsense!”
Zhu Lan and the princ.i.p.al looked at each other.
Ident.i.ty?
Apart from being the lost daughter of the Smiths, what other ident.i.ties did Claire have?
Adam gritted his teeth and said word by word, “The girl in front of you is the current vice president of the International Mathematical Olympiad a.s.sociation! She didn’t want to take such a simple exam. It was I who begged her to take it. Do you think she needs to cheat?!”
The princ.i.p.al and Zhu Lan opened their eyes wide as if being struck by a bolt from the blue.
What did they just hear?
Claire was… Vice President of the International Mathematical Olympiad a.s.sociation?!
Adam patted a red booklet on the princ.i.p.al’s desk. “This is her certificate. Open your eyes and have a good look!”
Looking at the certificate, the princ.i.p.al was dumbstruck.
Gosh, he had offended someone who he couldn’t afford to offend!
Oh, no…
Zhu Lan was so scared that she could hardly stand.
How could she know that Claire who always slacked in study was actually the vice-president of the International Mathematical Olympiad a.s.sociation?!
This was unbelievable…
Still angry, Adam continued. “That’s ridiculous. Just because of a made-up post, you slander your student for cheating without any evidence!”
The princ.i.p.al was frightened and tried to explain hurriedly. His voice was trembling with fear. “Professor Cooper, there is some misunderstanding. We…”
Adam sternly interrupted his words. “Your behavior today really opened my eyes. Lance Middle School seems to insult the students at will. I declare that from now on, the International Mathematical Olympiad a.s.sociation and your school will terminate the partners.h.i.+p. Your school will be permanently blacklisted by us!”
The princ.i.p.al almost pa.s.sed out and collapsed to the ground.
Terminate the partners.h.i.+p?
No!
The International Mathematical a.s.sociation had a very high status in the education industry. It was precisely because of the partners.h.i.+p with this a.s.sociation that Lance Middle School had managed to climb to the third place among international schools.
The other schools envied them a lot precisely due to this.
If the news was spread out that their partners.h.i.+p with the a.s.sociation had been terminated, it would not be an exaggeration to say that their school ranking would plummet.
Ah… the consequences would be disastrous!
